Students at Umpqua Community College in Southern Oregon may soon have some new options for housing. The college is converting three historic buildings in downtown Roseburg into student dorms and apartments. College leaders hope that providing housing will help attract students from around the region and that bringing students downtown will add vibrancy to the city’s core.
UCC President Rachel Pokrandt joins to talk about the role the college hopes to play in revitalizing downtown Roseburg and alleviating the city’s housing crunch.
